So here we are in the run up to Christmas, has your team got a Christmas meal planned? NO? Why not organise one, just a pizza or MacDonalds after a game will do or support our seniors altogether as a team?

PERFORMANCE
A difficult match again for the Wednesday netball nights team against a fierce Titans team fielding a strong defensive unit. The girls gave it their all but final score a loss 15-26. 
The West Yorkshire Senior team put Coach Jo Hodgkiss through the wringer with the tense, tight battle against Wakefield Wildcats eventual score, a win by one 38-37. Great to see Rosie Harris back on court in a Leeds Athletic dress. 

The Prem team travelled south to Winchester early on Sunday morning to play Western Park Blades. A tight game resulting in a precious win 55-54. 

At home the Northern girls faced Sheffield Stormers and won by almost double score 66-34. Successful tactics resulted in this very pleasing win. 

At the EIS the Senior Regional team took three U16s to take on Harrogate Phoenix. An emerging team with a mix of experience and U16s too, a fabulous win 46-28 although it was a tougher match than the score suggests. 
With coach Chloe away with Prem and Coach Lisa on a coaching course our U14As worked hard and demonstrated some skill for Maggie who stepped in to the brink. Playing YMCA they kept the scoreboard ticking over at quite a rate final score 40-8. 

The U14Bs took on Birkenshaw Belles super result to Leeds 22-14. 
The U12As beat YMCA 1, who were second in the league to what has to be the score of the day, 48-6 with tremendous performances all round. 

Our U12Bs had a toughy this week up against Huddersfield Giants 1 but they produced a 20-16 win, what a truly brilliant result. 

The U12C team (really U11A) also had a difficult encounter against a strong Wakefield Wildcats 1 side but taking the win 16-14 in a hard fought match. 

U12D (really U11B) playing in the second division of the U12 league were struggling at half time to Wakefield Wildcats 2 however a strong second half brought them to an 8-9 loss but oh so close 

AGM

WEST YORKSHIRE SENIORS
Here is a message from the West Yorkshire Senior Committee. 
Just a reminder about etiquette when using the netball venues. We have been asked to raise the the following points with all teams and umpires: 

• Please remember that all venues are non-smoking venues. For all school based venues in particular, remember that smoking is only permitted outside of venue grounds, not in the car park or outside the building.
• Please also make sure you are not using the staff toilets at Halifax Grammar School, as this has been raised as a specific issue by the caretaker there.

PERFORMANCE
Earlier in the week the U16s beat Stars 31-4 in the Tuesday Netball Nights League.  Our youngsters in the Wednesday Netball Nights lost 40-18 to a good, strong and physical Leeds Lightning by far the toughest match in this league so far.
Our Seniors were successful in the West Yorkshire League on Saturday, pitched against Wakefield Phoenix they pulled off a 51-40 win.
In the Senior Regional League match our girls totally ran the opposition into the ground. Up against a mature, physical Ripon Rockets side they came away with a clear win 57-32.

Another week into the 2019/20 season and another e mail from the West Yorkshire Junior Committee to ALL clubs, stressing the importance of removing jewellery before matches. Presumably as performance athletes, who take our sport seriously, Leeds Athletic members are not the offenders?

PERFORMANCE
Our Netball Nights team continued a winning streak this week beating a strong Thundercats 25-23 in a game that was close throughout.
On Saturday the West Yorkshire Seniors faced Hi Tech, always an intensely fought battle, the outcome was 66-52 to Leeds Athletic with a superb show of strength and determination.
Just Northern girls out in Senior competition this  Sunday, a good win for Jan Hemsley’s team against Seatonians at this away fixture, final result 51-37.
Round to the juniors now our U16s did us proud again finding the two teams unbeaten at the top of the league table. The U16A beat Birkenshaw Belles a stonking 57-3 despite the score line, the opposition never gave up against the onslaught of goals. With the U16B’s there was no doubt who was going to win here either, although our girls had to dig deep against Shipley resulting in a 33-23 win. 
Wakefield Wildcats(1) were the challengers to our U14A’s but they came up short, our mighty efforts resulted in a super 31-10 win for us.  A tough challenge this week for our U14B team facing Huddersfield Giants(1), each quarter score was unbelievably close, despite not giving up for a single moment our girls just lost by one goal 19-20. 
On to the 12’s with mixed results here, starting with the U12A team who faced Wakefield Phoenix(1) taking a convincing win by 35-8.  U12C played second in the league YMCA(1) so a tough call for our U11s playing up in this first division of the U12 league, they made a good game of it though, only one goal in it at half time finally losing 10-20. So to our U12D playing Calderdale(1) who were one position above them in the second division of the U12 league.  After an amazing show of determination and teamwork, the match was lost 3-11.

SPECTATE

A great set of results for the club this weekend with many tough games going our way. 

PERFORMANCE
Earlier in the week there were good wins for the Tuesday and Wednesday netball nights teams, both playing in adult leagues. Tuesday saw a final score of 37-9 v Whitcliffe Wildcats. Then on Wednesday our U14s smashed Leeds Medics 31-16 with 7 juniors aged 14. 

On Sunday morning the U14B’s were up early, getting a good win against a strong Wakefield Wildcats, very close up to half time then easing through to 32-21 final score. 

Also playing at 9am were the U16B team facing Huddersfield Giants (1) who were keen to take a win from us and it was tight right to the end but our girls came out on top 25-21. 

The U12A and U12B teams clashed today in a game resulting in a 36-14 win to the A team. 

Later the U16A team got a shock in the first quarter, when a powerful Wakefield Wildcats(1) pushed them to 11-9. Shock over the girls powered on to a great 50-17 win in the end. 

Never giving up the U12C team battled against a stronger more mature Wakefield Phoenix(1) losing 9-20, tough but lots of learning. 

It was a tense hard fought game for the U14A’s winning 31-17 v YMCA(1). Sounds easy judging by the final score, but it most certainly was a nail biter through to half time, our athletes fought for every ball and won out. 

Our Prem team were playing away again v Cumberland final score was 52 - 35 to Cumberland again a very well fought match with Leeds bringing it back in the 3rd quarter but then let it slip in the 4th quarter.

AGM

JEWELLERY
Jewellery has no place on the netball court for training or matches as all our athletes know. It is a danger to the individual and to others on court. Generally speaking it is not an issue with any of our performance athletes but here is an additional message from the league this week-

Hi Clubs
Can you please advise your athletes that they cannot play with taped ears to cover earrings.
 All earrings need to be removed.
West Yorkshire Junior League

SPECTATE
As our juniors do not have matches on Sunday 27th October it is an opportunity for our youngsters to watch top seniors in action at Leeds Beckett against Turnford 11.30am. This game will be followed by the Northern match when our girls are pitched against Sheffield Concord, many of the athletes were U16s last year playing in this tough senior North of England clubs league. 

NATIONAL SCHOOLS
There was no West Yorkshire Seniors match this week due to the county round of national schools netball finals, where lots of our girls could be seen playing for their schools. Well done to everyone from Leeds Athletic competing at this event and congratulations to those school teams who have qualified for the Regional round in January.

Teams should all have been assigned administrators, have training balls, match balls and kit bags. First matches are out of the way and recording and reporting scores making more sense. 

PERFORMANCE
Tuesday brought another win for our Bradford Netball Nights team 17-6 the final outcome. 
A close game for our Wednesday Netball Nights team winning 22-21 nice little celebration dance on our Facebook page if you care to look. 
On Saturday our West Yorkshire Seniors played Alliance, losing 41-52 in a tough match. 
Our Prem 1 team were at home for the first time this season playing Oaksway in an exciting match. Unfortunately although our girls played well and battled on they lost this tight encounter 51-56. 
The Northern girls faced Riverside also the first home game this year. A cracking match but the experience of the opposition just swung it, resulting in a 49-51 loss. 
Hi Tech were the fierce opponents for our young Senior Regional team.  They battled hard against the experienced and physical opposition, final score 45-43 to LANC. 
The U16A’s faired well winning their third game convincingly 46-17 against Yorkshire Terriers 1. Their pals playing in the U16B’s not to be out done played Wakefield Wildcats and won 26-23 in a closely contested match. 
In the 14’s just a game for the B’s this Sunday v Yorkshire Terriers 1 a superb win 26-16. 
Then in the 12’s only the D team were due to play Birkenshaw Belles 1. However the match was cancelled due to water on the court. 

BANK ACCOUNT
Our bank account will be changing. Please check you have the new account number and sort code before depositing any money. Look out for further details. 

FAREWELL
This week the club says goodbye and good luck to an outstanding member of our community, Chairperson, Mariana Pexton. Please see the message from her below-

💙🖤💙🖤💙🖤💙🖤💙
Just a quick one to let you know that I am resigning as Chair of Leeds Athletic, after 7 or so years in the role.

A few of us took the club on with very little structure and fewer teams and we’ve put much more structure and process to improve the organisation, administration, communication and profile of the Club. It’s been hard work, requiring countless hours of dedicated hard work organising trials each year and teams each week. I suspect I’ve written in the region of 300 Club Updates, with probably hundreds of tweets as well!

Leeds Athletic has grown through this period and been able to respond to help deliver the amazing netball vision that Anna Carter has. Introducing netball nights for juniors sounds a small thing, but it’s developed athletes really well. “Let’s plan a trip to Australia” Anna said, and sure enough those athletes (and coaches) had a trip of a lifetime!

As ever though, there’s always more to do to improve, especially to make the most of the opportunity that the growth of the game offers. But I’m ready to pass that baton to someone else to drive forward, leading the awesome team of volunteers, and working with the amazing coaching team. 

The thing I’m proudest of is contributing to the development of so many girls, on and also off court, providing a context where they can thrive, be confident, sociable, well organised team players, and hopefully be the best netballers they can be. The thing I’ve enjoyed the most is working with such a great team of committed individuals who care about the club and the athletes. 

Many of you will know that sadly I lost both parents in the last twelve months. I struggled to maintain my level of commitment to the club because of juggling some tough family stuff. Club colleagues have provided great support to me which I’ve really appreciated.

I’m going to take some time to do something for me and hope to be starting a Doctorate very soon, almost twenty years after I completed my Masters! Stepping away from Club will also allow me to spend more time with Daniel as well, and maybe head to Birmingham to watch Georgia in the odd game!

I wish the club the best of luck for the next phase of the journey, it’s in super hands with the coaching team and the admin team. Good luck to all the athletes, and if you’re a parent who isn’t involved, maybe look to get involved, it’s hard but rewarding!
💙🖤💙🖤💙🖤💙🖤💙

Mariana picked up Leeds Athletic by the heels seven years ago and has stood as Chairperson since that time. She has been the quiet voice of reason, meanwhile shouting the clubs praises and forging good relationships with members of the netball community. Reliable, visible and fair, an inspiration and a valued friend. I am sure club members, parents and friends will all want me to thank her for such a long and dedicated service to our club. Thank you Mariana and good luck in all you do, we are sorry to lose you as our Chairperson, but feel lucky you chose to volunteer at Leeds Athletic. 

DISNEY
Exciting things are happening in the U14’s and U12’s.  A trip to Disneyland Paris for a netball festival is on the cards for 5th-9th April 2020.  Deposits are about to be taken - Disney have our initial booking.

Club matters have started to drop into place this week, memberships completed, team admins are appointed, umpires booked, squads are taking shape and registrations for leagues all done.
 
PERFORMANCE
The Wednesday Netball Nights team had a close game against Titans finally losing 24-27 after a relentless outing. These girls mostly U14 with coach Alisha Levy are being well challenged each week in this senior league helping to develop their game.

On Saturday morning our West Yorkshire Seniors put up a great show against a very strong experienced Morrison’s but sadly ran out of steam in the final quarter resulting in a 43-54 loss.

Sunday saw lots of teams out, many in their first match of the season or ever for Leeds Athletic. The U16A team had another great result against Shipley winning 53-22. Meanwhile the U16B had a game of two halves, winning by 12 at half time after a confident performance then managing to hold on to a 2 goal win by the end 26-24.

Only the U14A scheduled to play in the 14s this week, they had an excellent win 42-11 with all girls taking to court and playing at least half a game.

Our U12A team had a stormer, beating arch rivals Huddersfield Giants 31-8 there must have been a lot of hard work at training to achieve this result. The U12B and U12C were pitched against one another in a well spirited match final outcome 27-8 to the Bs. The U12D team wow, pulled out a one goal victory 9-8 v Twinkles what superstars.

Back on to Seniors, our Prem 1 team travelled south to Gloucester for a match against a strong Hucclecote, in this top National League, a long way to travel resulting in a 52-24 loss.

The Northern team were also away from home at Oaksway in the North East, Jan Hemsley’s young team came away with a fabulous nerve racking 47-45 win.
 
DISNEYLAND PARIS
The U14s and U12s are looking to go to Disneyland Paris at Easter. Watch this exciting space.
 
THANKS
Many thanks to all the volunteers helping to make this season a success. From those taking photos, posting on Facebook, organising meetings, planning team building events, collecting money, scoring, submitting scores, sending match day information and everyones favourite running the U14/16 tuck shop, you are all amazing. Thank you.

​
Our U12s had friendly fixtures against Birkenshaw Belles the U12A won 19-9 and the U12B 21-1. Great to have early competition at this stage in the season. Thanks to Birkenshaw Belles for the fixture there was outstanding play from both teams.

​PERFORMANCE
Four teams of U12s were out at the Trafford Tournament on Saturday. For some of those travelling across to the North West it was their first taste of match experience. It gave our coaches the opportunity to see LANC talent in action against strong opposition. There were plenty of goals, wins, closer scores, smiles and effort, much had improved since our last outing in Manchester so big congrats to all four teams. 
Prem also travelled West to Oldham on Sunday where the result went against us 39-51. Plenty of time in the season for this young team to improve on bits to get the win next time out. 
Earlier in the week our Bradford Netball nights team had another super win 35-21. Then a draw for our Leeds Netball Nights team 29 all against Pitch Slap coached by one of our rookie coaches Jess Fox.
